Sidetracked


First I got sidetracked with spinning. I had been working with this fiber on my spindles 
and finally finished all the singles. Then I plied it on my spinning wheel and was pleasantly 
surprised by how much I like the end product. I combined it with some tobacco colored cotton 
you see in the bottom left corner of this picture and then I got sidetracked with weaving :)



I'm calling this The Saturn Scarf. It's for my husband, Paul, who is an amateur astronomer. 
The layers of color are reminiscent of the banding on Saturn. I'm so happy with the way 
it came out and it was a fun project from start to finish. Fortunately, Paul really likes it too :)

And of course I've been sidetracked by my garden too...


Now I really need to get back to my knitting. I have one hat to finish for Julie 
down at Island Wools and then I am going to get a few more patterns 
written up to add to my Ravelry Store and website.
